Like the zombie apocalypse, where you are going to have to "bug out."

It is not restricted to one scenario and is definitely not one-size-fits-all. A bug out bag must be customized for your personal needs and operational environment so that like the Boy Scouts you are "always prepared."
SEE WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING...
"An excellent course on how to be prepared I am one of those persons who believe that you can never be too prepared and taking this course made me feel much more confident regarding my potential of survival. There is plenty of detailed information on things you need to have in your bug out bag and, most important, why you need to have them. It is a great course if you are interested in learning about how to be prepared for unexpected situations. It is not a simple list of items you should have in your bag, but also how to use them and how to get access to the things you need to survive." Debbi Samuels
"Great course I really enjoyed the material in this course, it was well thought out and had very good suggestions in it. I liked how the instructor went into just enough detail without getting too in depth keeping the course a manageable length. I liked how the material was laid out as well, specifying the most important parts and the why as well as what. I thought the instructor was quite knowledgeable and had good information. He spoke clearly and relative to the slide material. The lectures were quite enjoyable and the addition of text material added greatly to the course." Mrs Lisa Court
"Whether its for broadening knowledge base or self preparedness this course is perfect for you This course was fun!I found that the class is perfect for those into survivalistic expeditions; man (woman) against nature. The BOB was a great addition to outdoor activities. I loved all the how tos and tips that were covered; not because it was part of the material but because the reasoning was sound. I did not get the feel that this course was set to sell products which is always a plus. I have read other books and other courses that half way through the sales pitch is inserted and that smile of “oh yeah cool" becomes the look of utter disdain. This course is exempt from that. I gives you a basic foundation with space to adjust to fit each person and incident need. This is the type of information I welcome, one with space to change it up since every incident comes in variety of cause and effects. Its a great class for those outdoorsy people, safety folk, and for disaster preparedness across the board. Highly recommended." Mr. X
Bug-Out Bags are a type of survival kit designed to allow its owner to survive at least three days in the event of emergency, typically evacuating from a disaster zone.

Good as an intro.
By Bobbie Smith on 10/18/2017
Great course. Lots of great information. Thank you.
By Paul Motsuk on 1/26/2017
While what information is here is good, all that is being done is reading the slides. I mean this literally. There has been a slide with a 4 word heading and some pictures. The slide was up for the time it took to read the header. About one second. Then on to the next slide. Also, the suggested weight for a bug out bag is... 500lbs (227 kg)!!

Boring Presentaion, Presenter reading off powerpoint slides, No videos. Far more useful courses on Udemy. Would not reccomend purchase.
By Juan Luis Pérez López on 2/8/2016
The instructor did good, a large list of possible situations can fixed whit the pack he talk about.
By Mi Tay on 12/12/2015
I'm not sure if the information is practical or fully actionable on this course (e.g. 500 lb filled backpack?), but the content is comprehensive and makes you think about all aspects of preparedness.
By Nancy Thomas Ward on 12/8/2015
and survival contents. Thank you for this course and i picked up several valuable tips however i found it impersonal...it would have been nice to have had more pics of products + a face to go with the voice...maybe a vid of how to set up a real survival camp...5x Nancy
By Billy Bob on 10/18/2015
It was a nice, brief course with a lot of basic information regarding building your BOB. Living in the northeast US, it only makes sense to be at least a little prepared. Course was a good investment! Thanks.
By Petra Perez on 8/20/2015
I think it is important to always prepare for emergencies. Knowing what to pack in case you experience one is important. That's why I took this course. I wanted to know what tools,food, and other supplies I would need to pack in case of an emergency. Thanks to this course I know how to pack a bug out bag, where to get one, and what to pack.
